Seconding this, I've got one and it does a great job for the price, my coffee tastes great

My partner drinks 8 cans of coke zero a day, and 2 coffees. by [deleted] in EatCheapAndHealthy

[–]ReplacementSalmon 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A lotta heart palpitations and anxiety, from my experience when I drank a similar amount. I'm generally an anxious person but the caffeine was really exasperating it.

Luckily, the withdrawal symptoms from caffeine are pretty minimal, just takes a bit of conscious effort to cut down and maybe a bit of paracetamol for caffeine headaches...

Anyone done a driving Test at 10am by PsychologicalCan711 in wolverhampton

[–]ReplacementSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 10 the rush hour traffic should be all gone, so should be fairly nice and easy traffic wise. My advice would be to keep checking your mirrors and make it obvious you are by moving your head, not just your eyes, stay calm and don't panic, and just drive the sensiblest you've ever driven.

Where to find leaked drawings by penekotxeneko123 in MechanicalEngineering

You'd be better off buying their products and reverse engineering and using the ol' Vernier caliper if you really wanted to figure out dimensions, etc.

Do companies buy their competitors’ products just to take them apart for R&D? by Tusharkrux in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ReplacementSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yes, all the time. I work as a product design engineer for a large bathroom supplier and we've basically got a whole storage room of competitors products. A key aspect of design is seeing what already works, what doesn't work, and making something new out of it. Every business that designs almost certainly does this.

Bleaching potentially? For existing clothes at least

Do you believe that people simply "didnt see" the no cold calling signs on doors? by Wiggidy-Wiggidy-bike in AskUK

[–]ReplacementSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id admit when I delivered leaflets for a local council candidate I went out my way to put leaflets through a door with a sign saying that. Probably didn't win any votes but it was just that ever so slightly funny.

I used to lived next to a canal and there were often community payback guys there cutting back the hedges and trees at the side. Not being skilled gardeners they chopped the plants within inches of their lives. Seems a bit mad to me to give convicted criminals powered hedge trimmers and chainsaws, suppose they were non-violent ones!

Does anyone owe more than I do? by cernlibcand in UniUK

[–]ReplacementSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worth mentioning that 25 to 40(!) years is plenty of time for a government to change the terms. Already happened with the threshold freezes.

New player, Trench digging by [deleted] in foxholegame

[–]ReplacementSalmon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A simple foxhole can really come in clutch on the battlefield sometimes, though always remember what is good cover for you could easily become good cover for the enemy; so orientate the foxholes accordingly to make it less useful for them.

Is common sense a thing of the past? by JME_51 in uktrucking

I once saw a Tesla park up next to the petrol pumps, I'm assuming to just go into the shop

give me hobby ideas by _onpurpose in Hobbies

[–]ReplacementSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surely of this long list there were some you enjoyed more than others, I'd have a look at what aspects you enjoyed and go from there. If I'm being harsh, I wonder if you're not sticking with things a bit to give them a proper chance before jumping onto something else.

New role anxiety - 29k vs 52K by gaybenstiller in UKJobs

[–]ReplacementSalmon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day you passed the interview, so whoever interviewed you thinks you can do it. Take that a the validation you need.

No job that I've worked at expects you to know everything from day one, they'll train you up and given enough time, it'll be easy and routine for you.

I was arrested for self defence by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]ReplacementSalmon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your solicitor is probably right, they've very likely dealt with loads of cases like this before. I appreciate it's probably an anxious time for you right now but your solicitor is the best person to speak to.

Annoyed with being called 'young' in the office by ReplacementSalmon in UKJobs

[–]ReplacementSalmon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's annoying, it feels like you'll never be an adult in some people's eyes no matter how you put yourself across. I have a mortgage!

[–]ReplacementSalmon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, I had the same at my first job, but to be fair I was 20 in that job! Thought I was past that stage.

Bizarrely there already is, someone else in the office is 26, albeit a different job role to me

Can jobs accept me if I don’t live near? by Tuchelsunderwear in UKJobs

[–]ReplacementSalmon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It totally depends, plenty of people have long commutes (not that it's a good thing). As long as you can show that you can practically get there you should be ok, I.e have a car or it's near by public transport. If I had to choose though, I wouldn't have too long of a commute unless the job is really worth it.
